Structural highlights
Function
[YYCF_BACSU] Member of the two-component regulatory system YycG/YycF involved in the regulation of the ftsAZ operon, the yocH, ykvT, cwlO, lytE, ydjM, yjeA, yoeB genes and the tagAB and tagDEF operons. Probably phosphorylates YycF. Binds to the ftsAZ P1 promoter sequence in vitro. YycF has been shown to directly bind to the regulatory regions of yocH, ykvT, tagAB/tagDEF. Activates cwlO, lytE and ydjM and represses yoeB and yjeA.[1] [2] [3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
YycGF is a crucial signal transduction system for the regulation of cell-wall metabolism in low-G+C Gram-positive bacteria, which include many important human pathogens. The response regulator YycF receives signals from its cognate histidine kinase YycG through a phosphotransfer reaction and elicits responses through regulation of gene expression. The N-terminal regulatory domain of YycF from Bacillus subtilis was overproduced and purified. The protein was crystallized and X-ray data were collected to 1.95 A resolution with a completeness of 97.7% and an overall R(merge) of 7.7%. The crystals belonged to space group P3(1)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 59.50, c = 79.06 A.
